WEATHER, 2A 2 dead in domestic dispute By STEVEN RICHMOND srichmond@lakecityreporter.com The Columbia County Sheriffs Office is investigating a domestic dis pute that resulted in the deaths of a local married couple, according to a Monday media release. Investigators believe Christopher Curry, 46, and wife Michelle Curry, 43, were involved in a domestic dis pute when she retrieved a handgun and shot her husband twice before turning the gun on herself, the release said. Authorities said Christopher Curry was dead when EMS arrived and Michelle Curry pronounced died after being transported to Lake City Medical Center. Deputy Lt. Chris Sharpe said a friend of the family, who was living in the home near the intersection of 252B and Troy Road, was present and noti fied authorities following the incident. When we arrived on scene, there were two bodies in the living room Woman shot husband, turned gun on herself, sheriffs office reports. PATRICK SCOTT/ Special to the Reporter Columbia County Sheriffs Deputies are pictured at a home off CR 252B, the scene of an apparent murder-suicide around 11:30 p.m. Sunday. One person was reported to have died at the scene, the other at a local hospital. Healthy backs, happy people By AMANDA WILLIAMSON awilliamson@lakecityreporter.com O riginally a sixth-grade Suwannee County science project, the Vestpakz a specialized backpack will make its national debut on Walmart shelves the first weekend of December. A combination of backpack and a vest, the Vestpakz traveled to science competitions in Boston and Oprahs stu dios in Chicago before the company finally landed a partnership with backpackmanufacturing company Eastsport to produce the product for Walmart. Originally, the launch will target 100 stores nationwide with Vestpakz designed for preschool-aged children, but inventor Christen Bell, now 26, hopes the idea will continue to grow. Its extremely difficult to get [Walmart] to pay attention to you, so the fact that they even gave us the time of day is a miracle, she said. But Bell said the moment she sees her product more than half her life in the making on the shelves of Walmart, she will cry. I will probably be speechless, Bell said. I told someone before that it will be like a singer hearing their song on the radio for the first time. It will just be a bunch of emotions. Formerly of Live Oak, Bell first came up with the idea while attend ing Suwannee Middle School. She was asked to come up with a list of problems, then craft a solution for one of them. The Vestpakz was born from her des peration to get a good grade, Bell said, and to solve the discomfort of carrying heavy textbooks from class to class. She created the first backpack from her mothers sewing scraps, a hodgepodge of patterns that she thought looked good together. The Vestpakz distributed the weight of its contents around the body. The final product was a vest with zippered pockets on the front and back. I am incredibly blessed that my father saw potential in it, Bell added. As a sixth-grader, I probably wouldnt have realized what it could have been. But Bells sixth-grade teacher Melissa Brinson knew the product had potential, so she entered it into the HoughtonMifflin National Science Convention Competition. The Vestpakz won. Soon, the family was on an all-expense paid trip to Boston for an invention conven tion. After the initial success, Bell won the Disney Dreamers and Doers award, given to students who demonstrate excellence in schools and communities. In April 2012, the family-owned small business entered Get it on the Shelf, a Walmart-sponsored competition where Americans voted on an invention they wanted to see offered stores. Bells creation didnt win, but her father, Michael Wooley, didnt give up. Wooley started talking to Walmarts buyers, who put him in contact with Eastsport. I thought it was a great idea, said Arthur Grayer, senior vice president of Eastsport. It really distributes the weight properly on the child... Theyve put their input into this, their heart and their soul. Theyre very creative. While Grayer credits Vestpakz with the idea of combining a cool vest and utility pack, Eastsport brings its manufacturing ability to the table. They will be offering the Vestpakz in a variety of colors and prints catering to young children. Neon pink, camouflage and trendy prints will Sixth-grade science project will finally make its debut on shelves of Walmart. FILE Michael Wooley, the father of Live Oak inventor Christen Bell, displays Vestpakz, a specialized backpack/vest that distrib utes weight more evenly throughout the wearers shoulders. Its kind of neat to watch something start from a science proj ect and turn into a small business that can potentially grow into something larger, Wooley said. Christen Bell, inventor and vice president of Vestpakz, LLC. Council ponders ban on photos By ROBERT BRIDGES rbridges@lakecityreporter.com The city council on Monday discussed a series of meeting procedure revi sions, including one that would ban photography during meetings without the consent of the mayor or presiding officer. After the workshop the Lake City Reporter, in response to an earlier inqui ry, received an email from the office of the Florida Attorney General confirm ing such a measure would be in violation of the states open meetings law. City Manager Wendell Johnson drafted a set of rules designed to codify public participation and other procedural rules to be followed during any meeting open to the gen eral public, including regu lar and special council and committee meetings. The draft was written in response to SB 50, a bill passed during Floridas 2013 legislative session that directs local boards or com missions to follow proce dures designed to ensure the publics right to speak at public meetings. SB 50 requires that members of the public be provided with a reasonable opportunity to be heard on all matters before local gov ernment, Johnson said in a memo introducing the draft to the mayor and council. A thorough review [of existing city code] should PATRICK SCOTT / Special to the Reporter Rollover crash on SR 47 An injured person is prepared for transport to an area hospi tal after a crash involving two vehicles that occurred around 12:45 Monday afternoon at the intersection of S.W. State Road 47 and S.W. Ridge Street. CCSO, CCFD, FHP. and a Lifeguard ambulance were on scene. FHP updates crash victims name By STEVEN RICHMOND srichmond@lakecityreporter.com Investigators with the Florida Highway Patrol corrected the name of one of four victims involved in a head-on collision along US 90 Nov. 11. The passenger of the 2009 Toyota Camry that struck a 2004 Ford Expedition was original ly believed to be Maria Angela Gomez Perez, 31, of Jacksonville, according to FHPs press release last week. The passenger... has been positively identified as Nora Isabelle Perez, FHP said Monday in an update media release. The aforementioned vic tim was in possession of a fraudulent passport and identification card from Honduras [containing the incorrect name]. Cross examination through the Consulate General of Honduras revealed Perez was using either a sister or cousins name, according to FHP Public Affairs Officer Sgt. Dylan Bryan. She was utilizing a fam ily members name and information for those iden tification cards, but [Nora Perezs] photograph was used, Bryan said. Investigators have not yet determined if the Honduran documents were legitimate and what Perez was doing in the United States. Bryan also said the iden tity of the Camrys driver, David Mendez-Pineda, 36, also of Jacksonville, was confirmed through finger print analysis. Report: Woman in fatal accident carried fake ID.

Zimmerman will be transported and booked into jail, a Seminole County Sheriffs Office statement said. Authorities provided few other details, and it was not immedi-ately known what charges he faced. Messages for comment left by The Associated Press with the sheriffs office were not immediately returned. Zimmermans arrest at a house in Apopka, about 15 miles from Sanford, was just his latest brush with the law. Zimmerman and his estranged wife were involved in a domestic dispute in September just days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers, but police later said no charges were filed against either of them because of a lack of evi-dence.Ill. professor killed in hotel fall HOLLYWOOD  A Northwestern University medical professor has been killed after falling from a South Florida hotel balcony through a lower-floor glass ceiling, police said Monday. Hollywood police spokesman Lt. Osvaldo Perez identified the victim as 46-year-old Dr. Piotr Kulesza of Chicago. The Northwestern faculty guide lists Kulesza as a professor of pathology. Police say Kulesza fell just after midnight Sunday from a 23rd-floor balcony through the glass ceiling at the seaside Westin Diplomat hotel. Perez says investigators have so far uncovered no evidence of foul play. They are trying to determine if the fall was an accident or intentional. A memorial service will be held in the near future.Motorcyclist, bicyclist killed MELBOURNE  A motorcyclist and a bicyclist have died in a hit and run involving an SUV in central Florida. According to a crash report, a motorcyclist struck a bicyclist, who traveled into the path of the motorcycle at a busy intersection near West Melbourne on Saturday. Florida Today reports the 25-year-old motorcyclist, Quinn Stinton, was then run over by the SUV as he lay in the road. The Florida Highway Patrol reports that the bicy-clist, 50-year-old Timothy Robinson, also died. Authorities say Robinson was not wearing a helmet. FHP officials are investigating. 3 dead after van crashes on I-10 DEFUNIAK SPRINGS  Two children and a woman died when their church bus crashed Saturday on Interstate 10 as they were heading to Tallahassee. The Florida Highway Patrol said the bus driver lost control after a rear tire blew out. The van rolled over several times and several passengers were thrown out of the vehicle. Church services were cancelled Sunday at the Gospel of the Kingdom Church in DeFuniak Springs, where many in the small congregation were visiting victims in hospitals or comforting the families of the deceased. The Northwest Florida Daily News reports Maliya Chrishon, 8, Micah Goldsmith, 11 and Patricia Baker, 58, died. Goldsmiths mother, grandmother and baby sister were also in the van. Her mother, Akyra Eiland, 30, was in critical condition when she was taken to a Bay County hospital.College to name school after BurgundyBOSTON I ts kind of a big deal that Emerson College is changing the name of its school of com-munication. The college in Boston will rename the school  for one day only  the Ron Burgundy School of Communication on Dec. 4 to honor the fictitious television anchorman. Actor Will Ferrell, in character, is scheduled to share his path to journalism greatness with students. His visit will include a news confer-ence, the renaming ceremony and a screening of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Ferrell, as him-self, will introduce the movie. College President Lee Pelton says Burgundy understands the power of media, as well as hairspray, first-hand. Burgundy, known for telling people hes kind of a big deal, says he hopes to let students know how hard it is to make it to the top, in his words, especially if you dont have good hair.8 relatives of golfer Jason Day die in typhoon MELBOURNE  Australian golfer Jason Day paused several times to compose himself when he spoke Monday about the deaths of eight of his relatives, including his grandmother, in Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. They found, I think, eight of our relatives. Six of them were children, and my grandma, and a couple more, Day said after practicing at Royal Melbourne, where hes sched-uled to play in the World Cup as part of Australias team with Adam Scott. Its such a tragedy. I feel for my mother. Day said the most difficult part was not being able to contact his relatives, many of whom lived in the area around Tacloban, the capital of hardest-hit Leyte province. The typhoon has killed nearly 4,000 people and left more than a thousand missing. Its been toughest on my mother, theres been no communication, Day said. Days mother, Dening, migrated to Australia from the Philippines 30 years ago.Nobel author Doris Lessing dies at 94 LONDON  Doris Lessing emerged from a black cab outside her home in London one day in 2007 and was confronted by a horde of report-ers. When told she had won the Nobel Prize, she blinked and retorted Oh Christ! ... I couldnt care less. That was typical of the independent  and often irascible  author who died Sunday after a long career that included The Golden Notebook, a 1962 novel than made her an icon of the womens movement. Lessings books reflected her own improbable journey across the former British Empire, and later her vision of a future ravaged by atomic warfare. The exact cause of Lessings death at her home in London was not immediately disclosed, and her fam-ily requested privacy. She was 94. Even in very old age she was always intellectually restless, rein-venting herself, curious about the changing world around us, always completely inspirational, her editor at HarperCollins, Nicholas Pearson, said in one of the many tributes.

Friends of Music welcome Ciulei from Romania By AMANDA WILLIAMSON awilliamson@lakecityreporter.com Experience the mes merizing sounds of the classical guitar performed by Romanian-born Silviu Ciulei during the second concert of the 2013-14 Friends of Music Concert Series in Live Oak. The Friends present Ciulei on Friday, Nov. 22, at 7 p.m. in the Covenant First Presbyterian Church of Live Oak, located at 421 White Avenue. All concerts held by the Friends of Music are free and open to the public. A reception fol lows each concert. You dont hear too many people playing the classical guitar around here, said Linda Poplin, who organizes the Concert Series with her husband. I think this will provide a different perspective around what the guitar can do when it has the right master. Born in Romania, Ciulei began his musical stud ies at the age of six and attended the High School of Arts in his hometown, Constanta. By 13 years old, he had won his first performance prize. Over the years, Ciulei won numerous awards in Romania, including the first prizes in the National Music Olympics and Gold Medalist three consecu tive times in the George Georgescu International Music Performance Competition. After graduating top of his class, Ciulei was selected to perform the Concerto in A major opus 30 by Mauro Giuliani with the Black Sea Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2004, he earned a Full International Scholarship to study guitar performance with Dr. William Yelverton at Middle Tennessee State University. He is MTSU School of Musics first Full International Music Scholar and its first four-time undergraduate Research and Creativity Scholar grant recipient. Trained in classical gui tar, Ciulei also traveled to the south of Spain to study flamenco guitar. Living in Cadiz, Madrid and Seville, he became an acclaimed flamenco guitarist. Some of his flamenco mentors include Adam del Monte, Ricardo Nunez and Oscar Guzman. He has per formed with his flamenco band Tequila Flamenco Group at the Guitar Foundation of America International Festival at Oberlin Conservatory and with his new flamenco proj ect Maharajah Flamenco Trio at the Southern Guitar Festival and Competition in Columbia, South Carolina. Ciulei has toured the east coast from Florida to New York. Since coming to the United States, he has won a number of recognitions, including first prize at the Indiana International Guitar Competition, first prize at the Columbus Guitar Symposium, first prize in the Appalachian Guitar Festival and third prize in the Schadt Concerto Competition. Ciulei holds a Bachelor of Music in guitar performance from Middle Tennessee State University, a Master of Music in guitar perfor mance from Florida State University and a Doctor of Music degree in guitar performance from Florida State University. In the past, he was a graduate teaching assistant to pro fessor Bruce Holzman, who recommended him to the Friends of Music Concert Series. Poplin said she is unsure if Ciulei will be performing the flamenco guitar during his performance in Live Oak. Im going to be just as surprised as the people attending, she said. But Im sure it will be a pleas ant surprise. Poplin encourages the public to come out to see the musical performance, but said shes unsure what kind of turnout Ciulei will receive. She believes the classical gui tar is intriguing enough to bring both loyal fans and curious new fans to Live Oaks Covenant First Presbyterian Church.

The Fed has two mandates that can easily come in conflict -main-tain a stable currency, which basi-cally means keeping inflation under control, and try to combat unem-ployment. The Fed chairs semi-annual appearances before Congress -one day each for the Senate and House  are major economic events with the central bankers testimony closely monitored worldwide. Its a safe bet that few Americans have heard of Janet Yellen and even fewer could recognize her, but after a two-hour confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee, Yellen, President Obamas pick to lead the Fed, seems assured of Senate approval, despite a handful of dissenters. She would succeed Ben Bernanke, who will step down Jan. 31 after eight years on the job. Yellen, 67, indicated that she would continue Bernankes policies which are heavily weighted toward stimulus  super-low interest rates and the monthly purchase of $85 billion in bonds. Yellen indicated to the committee that she is on board with Bernankes plan to keep interest rates near zero until the jobless rate, now 7.3 percent, falls to 6.5 percent. The bond-buying program seems likely to remain in place at its current rate until at least March. Whether to continue it and how long will be one of Yellens first major decisions as chair. Her testimony before the committee cheered stock markets here and abroad, especially in Asia, where major indexes rose sharply, in some case to record highs. Yellen has the resume for the job. Her academic credentials include Harvard, the London School of Economics and UC Berkeley. She was a governor of the Federal Reserve System before becoming chair of President Clintons Council of Economic Advisers. From there she became president of Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco before becom-ing vice chair of the national Federal Reserve system in 2010. The Banking committee may approve her nomination as early as this coming week. When the time comes the full Senate should confirm her quickly and decisively without the usual political hostage-taking designed to extract conces-sion from the White House. The last thing our economy needs is more uncertainty. Q Dale McFeatters is editorial writer for Scripps Howard News Service. Dale McFeattersmcfeattersd@shns.comAfter seven years, a gathering of siblingsI ts not like we need an excuse to get together. Especially if it involves food, as it always does. But this time, besides eating, my family had several good reasons to gather. The best reason? It wasnt a funeral. Given a choice, we prefer nonfuneral gatherings. I live in Las Vegas, three time zones and a world away from my sister and two broth-ers in South Carolina. I visit as often as I can. My mother used to say that often as I can is just a fancy way of saying not nearly enough. My latest visit has been a long one, four weeks so far, but it hasnt been much of a visit. Im staying on a lake a few miles from all my kin who live here-abouts, but Ive spent most of the time working on a book. My sister, brothers, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends alike, have all been encouraging and under-standing about it. But privately, I suspect theyve formed an online chat group with my husband and children and friends back in that other time zone, to laugh about what Im really doing here, and say things like theyll believe Im writing a book when they see it. Which, come to think of it, is pretty much how I feel, too. Funny, how we project onto others thoughts and feelings that are really just our own. Unless others are thinking and feeling them, too. Truth is, most people are too busy dealing with their own stuff to wonder or even care what Im doing with mine. But book or no book, work or no work, four weeks is too long to be back in my hometown without getting my family together. So I invited them all up to the lake to do what we do best: Eat, talk and laugh. As I said, we had several reasons to celebrate. First and foremost, my niece and her husband are in the process of adopting a child, and it seems, at last, it could happen any day. He will be their child, but we will all be his family, and that is something to celebrate. Second, I had just written the last line of my book. No, I didnt finish the book. I just wrote the last line. But I felt I had earned, or at least wanted, a little party. Finally, if Im not mistaken, as I often am, this gathering would be the first time in seven years, since my stepfathers funeral, that all four of us -my brothers and sister and I -would all be together at the same time. That may not seem like such a big deal, but I can assure you it would have meant the world to my mother and my stepfather. So we ate pulled pork and talked and laughed and had ourselves a good time. My brother, Joe, who is blind, hadnt been to the lake since he was a boy. I wanted to dunk him, but it was cold and Id have had to dunk myself, too. So we sat on the porch, he and I, tossing limes (I wasnt about to look for rocks in the dark) so he could hear the kerplunk! and see the lake. I see things my brother cant see, and he hears things I dont hear, things that cant be seen. Sometimes, we compare notes. I saw a turtle, I said, with a shell as big as your belly. He laughed. Listen, he said, do you hear that dog? What dog? Then I listened hard and heard it barking in the distance across the lake. He asked about my book.Im working on it, I said.Joe has never seen a book, let alone read one the way you and I read. But he reads Braille, and was quick to remind me that he expects to get a copy of his own. Ill make sure of it, I said.After everybody left, I drove Joe home to his apartment. Sister, it sure was good to get see everybody today. It sure was, I said.Then I drove back to the lake to work on a dream that I cant see. I only hear it in my head. But my brother sees it for me. Sharon Randall www.sharonrandall.com Q Sharon Randall can be contacted at P.O.

This is what we do already. Already the company has sent Bell a selection of samples that will soon be waiting in Walmart for the holiday shoppers. Her favorite has been the neon pink. Her first test subjects were a couple of children who live in her new home town of Wake Forest, North Carolina. They looked so darn cute, she said. A child will absolutely give you their honest opinion. They all seemed to like it. They were fighting over it, and each one wanted to wear it. Though the current samples are marketed for ages four to six, Bell placed one of the Vestpakz on her friends 2year-old daughter.

DISPUTE Continued From 1A VESTPAKZ Continued From 1A 2 men arrested after threats By STEVEN RICHMOND srichmond@lakecityreporter.com Two Lake City men were arrested Sunday morning following an incident in which one of them threat ened to kill his ex-girl friend and her friends, the Columbia County Sheriffs Office reports. Justin Ray Harrelson, 21, and David Scott Archer, 25, both of 3822 NW Huntsboro Street, arrived at the home of Harrelsons ex-girlfriend around 11:15 p.m. Saturday, the arrest report said. The woman said Harrelson had been harassing her for a few weeks following the end of their monthlong rela tionship, deputies said. Once Harrelson and Archer arrived at the home and parked their truck at the end of the womans drive way, Harrelson approached the residence with a semiautomatic handgun on his waistbelt, complaining that she wasnt returning his calls, the report said. Harrelson then report edly pulled out the gun and pointed it at another male and female who were sitting on the front porch with his ex, the report said. Harrelson then attempt ed to punch the male in the face with the handgun and later struck both his ex and her female friend in the chest once they tried to intervene, deputies said. Harrelson allegedly said he would kill anyone who got between him and his ex, ran back to the truck and fired six or seven shots in the air from the vehicle before he and Archer sped off. Deputies said they found a single spent 9mm bul let casing a short distant from the womans driveway when they arrived on scene around 11:31 p.m. When authorities attempt ed to make contact with the suspects at their last known residence, they saw a light through the window, heard the sounds of a television and a scuffle after depu ties knocked on the front door, the report said. Dispatchers were able to triangulate Harrelsons cell phone signal, revealing it to be within the vicinity of the residence, before calling in CCSO Swat to handle the apprehension of armed and barricaded suspects, the report said. Deputies said both sus pects were found inside and arrested without injury or incident. However, deputies could not locate the handgun used in the incident, they said. Archer was booked into Columbia County Detention Facility on $20,000 bond. He faces a charge of public order crimes. Harrelson was booked into jail without bond. He faces charges of discharg ing a firearm from a vehicle, committing a third degree felony with a weapon, aggra vated assault with a weapon without intent to kill and improper exhibition of a firearm. Harrelson Archer be performed...to ensure compliance with SB 50. Johnsons proposed revisions addressed matters other than SB 50 as well. During a one-hour workshop pre ceding the regularly scheduled council meeting, council members made sev eral edits to Johnsons draft, but did not discuss the section forbidding public photography without consent. Photo opportunities are allowed before and following a council meet ing, Johnsons draft reads. Photo opportunities during a council meet ing will be allowed only upon invita tion of the mayor or presiding offi cer. The draft stated that persons declared out of order who refuse to comply with the proposed code could be arrested in violation of FS 871.01, a law forbidding individuals from willfully interrupting or disturbing a lawful public meeting. Violators would be charged with a second degree misdemeanor. Since public comments are not per mitted during workshops, a representa tive of the Lake City Reporter informed Johnson and the council before the meeting that the newspaper believed the proposed ban to be a violation of state law, and said the Reporter had sought an opinion from the attorney generals office. Later, when asked during the work shop by councilwoman Melinda Moses how the restrictions would work, Mayor Stephen Witt said he and city attorney Herbert Darby planned to examine the matter in greater depth. The council decided to table further discussion of Johnsons proposed revi sions until the next workshop, pending Witt and Darbys findings. After the workshop, the Lake City Reporter received an email from Pat Gleason, Special Counsel for Open Government in the office of the Attorney General, stating that a ban on photogra phy such as that proposed by Johnson would be a violation of Floridas open meetings law. PHOTO BAN Continued From 1A From staff reports The United Way of Suwannee Valley has been working hard since sum mer of 2012 to offset the damage done by Tropical Storm Debby to Columbia County homes. Hundreds of local homes were affected by Debby, which far outnumbered the homes United Way was pre pared to assist. While the local United Way had received grants and donations specific to the Tropical Storm Debby long-term recovery effort, the funding came up short. Thats where Perry Roofing Company stepped in. Volunteer labor for roof ing is a challenge, stated Roger Whiddon, who ful fills the role of long-term recovery construction coordinator for the local United Way. It is not a rebuild activity which can be assigned to a visiting youth group. Perry Roofing Company donated its assistance to United Way of Suwannee Valley to further its efforts to return Tropical Storm Debby-affected households to safe, sanitary and secure conditions. Without the necessary repairs to the roofs, interior work is impractical. Perry Roofings commitment is also a huge blessing to our committee, said Suwannee Valley Long Term Recovery Committee chair Pastor Alvin Baker. Roofer assists with TS Debby damage

Each student was asked to read a book about someone, write a short biography, and then create an accurate costume. Students remained in-character throughout the event which was held on the Shining Star campus. Shining Star parents, friends and family members came out in support of students whose costumes spanned the ages, including King Tut, George Washington, Anne Frank, Steve Jobs and many more. Shining Star Academy CPS receives grant for ARFrom staff reportsThe Consortium of Florida Education Foundations (CFEF), in conjunction with the State of Florida Department of Education recently award-ed the Columbia Public Schools Foundation, Inc. $17,910 in matching funds through the School District Education Foundation Matching Grant Program. The grant is entitled AR Books for Low Performing Readers. The matched grant money will be used to assist elementary schools in pur-chasing additional Reading Renaissance books. The books will be used for rec-reational reading by low performing students to help them retain their reading skills at school and at home during vacations. Middle and high schools matched money will be used to pur-chase high interest peri-odicals and library books for classroom libraries for intensive Reading classes. Schools raised from $1,200 to $2,400 through PTOs and business partners to match funds available through CFEF. Through the collaborative effort of its members, CFEF successfully advo-cated for the creation of legislative matching funds in 2000, which has pro-vided a dollar-for-dollar incentive for local educa-tion foundations to raise private contributions for eligible projects. Ive seen the impact of the Matching Grant pro-gram first hand in Manatee County where I live, and I am happy to help expand this program statewide to benefit other local educa-tion foundations and the students they serve, said Senator Bill Galvano. Florida is a national leader in this matching grant program for K-12 education with $25.3 Million in matching funds provided to date. The program encourages fur-ther engagement by local education foundation board members as they work with school system leaders to develop inno-vative programs that are responsive to local student achievement needs. CFEF is the membership organization for Floridas school district-wide local education foundations. Established in 1987, CFEF seeks to advance student achievement in Florida by increasing private sector investment and involve-ment in public educa-tion. CFEF now has 59 member foundations with 1,100 business and com-munity leaders serving as volunteer board members. Collectively, they raise more than $50 Million annually to support stu-dents, teachers and schools through a variety of programs. CFEF has provided more than $20 Million to local education foundations since 2002 through various private and public sector partner-ships, including the State of Florida School District Education Foundation Matching Grant Program.

The pioneer families of Florida were enterprising, producing farm products, cattle, goods and services of all types. The Union fully recognized this, leading to a series of skirmishes all over Florida. One of the goals of the Union was to control shipping, and more importantly, the well-estab-lished rail lines in Florida. This led to the well known Battle of Olustee some 30 miles to the east of where the Raid is held today.

Pageant girls putting on Pennies for PinesBy TONY BRITTtbritt@lakecityreporter.comYour pennies can help keep the fresh smell of pines in the Florida air. The Columbia County Forestry Scholarship pag-eant is in the midst of their Pennies for Pines fund-raiser. Were collecting money to reforest part of the national forests that were destroyed during man-made and natu-ral disasters, said Sharon Selder, the Miss Columbia County Forestry Scholarship Pageant director. The Columbia County Forestry Queens are doing this fundraiser as part of their community service project. The forestry queens will submit, in $68 increments, donations to The National Garden Club and the U.S. Forest Service, who will pur-chase and plant trees in Osceola National Forest and John Bethea State Forest. The forests have had 11,000 acres destroyed by the Okefenokee fires in 2010 and 2011. The U.S. Forest Service is trying to reforest 250 500 acres per year to replace trees destroyed in the fires. Selder said the organization started its fundrais-ing efforts Nov. 12 and its expected to last until mid-December. This is our first year doing this, she said. Just $68 can reforest an acre and we would like to set our goal at 10 acres. This is important because our pageant system is in place to promote the forestry and the importance of maintain-ing our national forests. Selder said the Columbia County Forestry Queens will make the first dona-tion in honor of Czarrah Howard, who was killed in a wreck earlier this fall. Our first acre will be in memory of Czarrah Howard  she was a par-ticipant in last years pag-eant, Selder said. A certificate honoring her memory will be presented to Howards parents. There are also plans to make the second dona-tion in honor of Deborah Jenkins, the former pag-eant director, who died in August. Donors may make contributions in honor of loved ones and also receive a cer-tificate. For additional information, contact Sharon Selder at (386) 365-1203.

DEAR ABBY: I am attracted to a man who is 27 years my junior. He is also attracted to me because he initiated our meeting. We have gone out a few times, and he says he doesnt care about our age difference. He has also mentioned us liv-ing together and said he would gladly pay half the expenses even though I make more than he does. Is this appropriate in todays society? I dont look much older than he does. But Im from a generation in which this kind of thing would be looked down upon. Still, I realize that the world has changed, and I feel a strong attraction to him. I would appreciate any advice you can give me.  HIS OLDER WOMAN IN MARYLAND DEAR OLDER WOMAN: In many ways the world has changed. However, I assume that you socialize with couples and individuals in your age group, and this may cost you some of those relationships because your friends may be uncomfort-able with the age differ-ence. I have printed letters from couples involved in successful May-December relationships in which the age made little difference. But I would suggest that you let this relationship develop a little further before deciding whether to move in together, and age has nothing to do with it. DEAR ABBY: I have a good friend I have known for 15 years. We have been through a lot together and have grown through all of our changes. However, her wardrobe hasnt changed. She still dresses like Betty Whites character in The Golden Girls from the 1980s. She is in a fragile state right now because of her recent divorce. How do I tell her to lose the shoul-der pads so she can meet a stud?  WARDROBE MISTRESS IN RHODE ISLAND DEAR WARDROBE MISTRESS: While your impulse to help your friend is laudable, it would be a mistake to suggest she change her image while she is in a fragile state. Let some time pass, and THEN make a date for a day of fun, fashion, beauty and some shop-ping. When shes stronger and feeling better about herself, mention that now shes a free woman starting a new life, a new image would help with the transition. DEAR ABBY: At sporting events when every-one is asked to remove their hats for the national anthem, does this include females? We attend NFL football games and our grandsons soccer games, and it annoys me when I see women leave their hats on. Doesnt every-one also include them? Shouldnt they do this to show their respect for our flag and country?  STICKLER IN FLORIDA DEAR STICKLER: Whether a womans hat should be removed depends on where it is being worn. In a theater or at a wedding, the hat should be removed as a courtesy if it blocks some-ones view. At a sport-ing event, a casual hat should be taken off when the anthem is playing. However, at more formal events, if the hat is part of the womans ensemble, it usually stays in place. DILBERT BABY BLUES HOROSCOPES DEAR ABBY ARIES (March 21April 19): Work on relationships. Set up rules and responsibilities and keep equality in mind. Think about the changes you want to make with regard to where or how you live. Back away from anyone who has been dragging you down. ++++ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Express your ideas through your actions. Take ideas from your past and revamp and reuse to fit your current needs. A personal relation-ship, along with a plan you want to pursue, should be developed and put into play. Love is highlighted. +++ GEMINI (May 21June 20): Disillusionment will surface regarding a job or task you have to perform. Make any adjust-ments required to ensure that you get things right the first time around. Uncertainty will need straight communication to be resolved. Anger will create delays. +++ CANCER (June 21July 22): Spend time with friends, family and peers, and you will boost your confidence. Opportunities are present if you display an earnest pursuit of your goals. Romance is in the stars and will do wonders for your ego and your love life. +++ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Speak from the heart. Address issues openly and honestly. There is no room for error when dealing with relationships or domestic issues. Dont take on what you cannot handle. Make decisions and changes you know you can manage. ++++ VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22): Lend a helping hand and you will get a rare opportunity to wit-ness something special. A change in the way you feel about monetary pos-sessions will help you put some personal changes you want to make into perspective. Live, love and laugh. ++ LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 22): Use what you have done in the past to help you move forward now. Refuse to let anyone belittle what you have to offer. Believe in your intel-ligence, knowledge and attributes, and pursue your goals. Research will help build your confidence. +++++ SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): A unique change at home will add to your comfort and please some-one you love. Invest in an idea that allows you to use your skills in unusual ways. Get involved in events that allow you to interact with people who have something to offer. +++ +++++ Face situations head-on. Expect to meet with opposition and be pre-pared to make the changes necessary to accommodate the results you want to see. Strive to make room for new endeavors. +++ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Accommodate others and you will end up getting exactly what you want. Your ability to charm and maneuver your own ideas into place will lead to an interesting and prosperous partnership. Dont pay for someone elses mistake. +++ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Dont share your plans with others if you want to avoid med-dling. A partnership will be under pressure due to the changes you feel are important to your emotion-al well-being. Tempers are likely to escalate if you are too vocal. +++++ PISCES (Feb. 19March 20): A partnership will suffer if you cannot agree on the changes you want to make, neglect your responsibilities or renege on a promise. A sudden change of heart can be expected if you dont hold up your end of a bargain. ++ CELEBRITY CIPHER Abigail Van Burenwww.dearabby.com BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY B.C.

We are hopeful that our contribution will inspire other businesses and individuals to also contribute to these important worthwhile projects, said Keith Leibfried, President and CEO of First Federal. Picture are (left to right) Gigi Witt Register, First Federal Bank of Florida SVP Regional Sales Manager; Holly Wheeler, First Federal Bank of Florida; East Region Sales Assistant; Bent Williams, First Federal Bank VP Commercial Loan Officer and the Boys and Girls Columbia High School soccer team and coaches. weeks of waiting the team got their revenge in a 35-14 win. But despite their 5-5 reg ular-season record, Allen knows that the Bears can put up points fast behind quar terback P.J. Blazejowski. Bartram Trail has been on fire offensively and showed their high-octane approach by knocking off Ed White High, 50-30, on the road to advance past the opening round of the playoffs and earn a rematch with Columbia. The Bears have won sixstraight games and havent loss since a 24-21 game at Buchholz High on Oct. 3. Bartram Trail started the season off with five-straight losses before rebounding to make the playoffs. Blazejowski leads the charge with 1,189 pass ing yards this season and has completed 140-of-255 attempts. Hes thrown 14 touchdown passes to only three interceptions. The Bears also have a solid rushing attack that has gained 2,823 yards on the ground this season. Blazejowski is a multiple threat as hes also put up 723 yards on the ground and 10 touchdowns, but sophomore David Coleman leads the ground assault. Coleman has rushed for 1,127 yards at over eight yards per rush. Hes reached the end zone 11 times this season. Allen is glad that the Tigers have the chance to return home to host the Bears. Ive been saying that itd be at least four weeks since we got to return home, because I knew wed be going on the road to take on Ed White in the second round, Allen said. They came in with their guard down and Bartram Trail came out strong. Allen said that they wont make the mistake Ed White did, because he knows the caliber of team that the Bears possess. Coach Darrell Southerland is an excellent coach, Allen said. They can put up points real quick with Blazejowski and we saw that from what theyve been able to do the past two years. Theyre a good ball team.
